It was learnt that the protest which was carried out by youths in the town, paralysed academic and non-academic activities in the institution on Monday.
One of the protesters, who asked not to be named, advised Governor Seyi Makinde to immediately dissolve the governing council and reconstitute another one for peace to reign in the town.
But, Ogundiran in his reaction, noted that the council acted in accordance with the law.
He maintained that the National Board of Technical Education guideline allows Council to appoint Acting Rector for a maximum of 12months, and which was a decision taken at a general meeting of the board which held earlier.
